TWiki Site-Level Preferences

The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).

NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs; is overwritten by web preferences)

Set NOSEARCHALL =

Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords and acronyms (if set to on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:

Set NOAUTOLINK =

Note: Use the [[...][...]] syntax to link topics in case you disabled WikiWord linking. The <noautolink> ... </noautolink> syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

Warn if %INCLUDE{}% of topic fails: Fail silently (if empty or off); output "Warning: Can't INCLUDE Topic, topic not found" (if set to on); else, output specific text (use $topic for topic). You can override this setting by web preferences and by a warn="..." parameter in %INCLUDE{}% :

Style of text edit box. Set to width: 99% for full window width (default; this will overwrite the EDITBOXWIDTH setting), or width: auto to disable. This setting works for IE and some other recent browsers. (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Set EDITBOXSTYLE = width: 99%

Default state of the Release edit lock (UnlockTopic) check box in preview. Checkbox is initially checked if Set RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX = checked="checked", or unchecked if empty. If checked, make sure to click on Edit to do more changes; do not go back in your browser to the edit page, or you risk that someone else will edit the topic at the same time: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Set RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX =

Default state of the Minor Changes, Don't Notify (DontNotify) check box in preview. Check box is initially checked if Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX = checked="checked", or unchecked if empty: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX =

Default state of the link check box in the attach file page. Checkbox is initially checked if Set ATTACHLINKBOX = checked="checked", or unchecked if empty (Set ATTACHLINKBOX =). If checked, a link is created to the attached file at the end of the topic: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Set ATTACHLINKBOX =

Format of file link when the link check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Email and Proxy Server Settings

Mail host for outgoing mail. This is used for WebChangesAlert if Perl module Net::SMTP is installed. If not, or if SMTPMAILHOST is empty, the external sendmail program is used instead (defined by $mailProgram in TWiki.cfg). Examples: mail.your.company or localhost

Set SMTPMAILHOST = mail

Mail domain sending mail. SMTP requires that you identify the TWiki server sending mail. If not set, Net::SMTP will guess it for you. Ex: twiki.your.company

Set SMTPSENDERHOST =

Proxy Server. Some environments require outbound HTTP traffic to go through a proxy server. Set the host in PROXYHOST (example: proxy.your.company), and the port number in PROXYPORT (example: 8080). No proxy is used if PROXYHOST or PROXYPORT is empty.

Set PROXYHOST =

Set PROXYPORT =

Email Link Settings

'Mail this topic' mailto: link - can be included in topics, templates or skins

Plugins Settings

TWikiPlugins configuration: All plugin modules that exist in the lib/TWiki/Plugins directory are activated automatically unless disabled by DISABLEDPLUGINS. You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the TWiki web for the plugin topics. Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics.

Note:%<color>% text must end with %ENDCOLOR%. If you want to switch from one color to another one you first need to end the active color with %ENDCOLOR%, e.g. write %RED% some text %ENDCOLOR% %GREEN% more text %ENDCOLOR%.

Set YELLOW = looks like this

Set ORANGE = looks like this

Set RED = looks like this

Set PINK = looks like this

Set PURPLE = looks like this

Set TEAL = looks like this

Set NAVY = looks like this

Set BLUE = looks like this

Set AQUA = looks like this

Set LIME = looks like this

Set GREEN = looks like this

Set OLIVE = looks like this

Set MAROON = looks like this

Set BLACK = looks like this

Set GRAY = looks like this

Set SILVER = looks like this

Set WHITE = looks like this (with gray background)

The following color settings are enclosed in verbatim tags to avoid incorrect nesting of XHTML tags:

Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: %. Example:

When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #FFD8AA .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address.
